I've created a new feature for a specific list. This new feature will show a button in the EditToolBar of a list page when editing. After clicking that new button, it should take you to another page and display some data. I already added the xml files and also a .aspx files to the SharePoint folder and also installed the feature and activated it for that site.

Now, I can't get the current list and current item in my new aspx page by using SPContext.Current.List or SPContext.Current.Item. It gives an error.

Any ideas?

Pass through the List and Item IDs in the querystring?

The Context is lost in an application page I believe.

  • Thanks for your quick answer, How can I do that from a feature? I mean, How can I get the values of this in the feature xml file.

  • How are you displaying the button in the toolbar in the first place?

  • Just by adding the line Location="EditFormToolbar" in the elements.xml of the feature.

  • Ah, understood, and you have a separate link which links to your application page in the elements.xml, also. I think the easiest way to be able to dynamically add stuff to the querystring is to use a usercontrol for the button on the toolbar.

  • I found that adding this to the element URL of the xml file ?ItemId={ItemId}&ListId={ListId} that information is added to the URL. Thanks James
